text:
The Background: The General Medical Council, which oversees the licensing of physicians, has issued guidance warning that it would be "discriminatory" for doctors not to prescribe either the pill or morning-after pill because they disagree with people having sex before marriage.
Bishop Tom Williams of the Archdiocese of Liverpool told the Daily Mail that the new guidelines would discriminate against "certain groups of doctors" and risked creating an "atmosphere of fear" in which doctors would be "prohibited from ever expressing their own religion."
Doctors can refuse to carry out some treatments on ethical grounds, such as abortions. But the guidelines say they must always ensure patients are referred on to a colleague who is willing to do the procedure.
However, not all procedures are covered by the conscientious objector protections. The guidelines explain that,
The exception to this is gender reassignment since this procedure is only sought by a particular group of patients (and cannot therefore be subject to a conscientious objection - see paragraph 5). This position is supported by the Equality Act 2010 which prohibits discrimination on the grounds of gender reassignment.
Why It Matters: The UK's Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination on the grounds of nine protected characteristics, including gender reassignment. The result of such legislation, as the General Medical Council is making clear, is that doctors who refuse to mutilate the sexual organs of a human being can be forced out of the healing profession.
As bioethicist Wesley J. Smith says,
Across the West, I am convinced that the Medical and Political Establishments want to drive "pro life" and orthodox-believing "Christian (or Muslim, if they go that far) medical professionals that disagree with the current morality out of medicine. On a broader point, the practice of medicine is being transformed before our very eyes from a "healing profession" into a technocracy in which "service providers" facilitate patient lifestyle choices and fulfill personal desires almost as much as treating and preventing illnesses and injuries.

This is a low-backed strapless dress with pleating at the top of the skirt for volume and nice, deep, practical pockets on the front sides so that you don't have to cary around a clutch or purse if you don't want to :)
This dress zips up the left side with an invisible zipper and hook & eye closure. As with most of my designs, this was draped directly onto the dress form with no pattern.
brocade, invisible zipper, hook & eye, gutermann all purpose polyester thread.

Still trying to find a counter that will go with my slate backsplash. BS has some lighter color stones mixed in. I'm now thinking something like kasmir or cashmere white granite to lighten up the look but still have a natural stone.
Any thoughts? Thanks! |

Kashmir White & River White would look really nice with the slate IMO. Both have a somewhat bluish tinge to the grey that runs through the stone. We have the Kashmir in our laundry & master bath & the River White in the kitchen on the island. Love them both. Good luck! |
Thanks so much. I am glad to hear you like your Kashmir white because I put a hold on 2 slabs today! Have you had any problems with staining or etching? I've just run across a few comments (here and elsewhere) about that being a problem with light colored granites. It's always something! Thanks again and I'd love to hear from anyone else with Kasmir, now that I've committed. |

The Course of True Love…
Meet Theseus, Duke of Athens. He's about to marry Hippolyta, the woman whose country he just conquered in battle. Into the midst of their fragile wedding arrangements charges Egeus who begs the Duke to punish his daughter, Hermia, for disobeying his command to marry the husband he has chosen for her: Demetrius. Egeus and Theseus insist that Hermia give up her chosen love, Lysander, and do her father's bidding. Refusal means living as a nun or losing her life altogether. Dissatisfied with her options, Hermia chooses her own path. She and Lysander flee to the nearby forest in hopes of escaping Theseus' law. But Demetrius gets wind of their flight and follows them to the woods. And where Demetrius goes, there also goes Helena, Hermia's best friend who just so happens to have the world's biggest crush on Demetrius.
The love problems intensify in the forest as the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, are having a fight of their own, over a servant boy that Titania has taken into her care. Oberon's jealous side gets the better of him and he commands his chief troublemaker, Puck, to fetch a flower whose juice, when laid upon a sleeper's eyes, will force the sleeper, upon waking, to fall in love with whatever he or she first sets eyes upon. With the juice, Oberon hopes to take his revenge on Titania. While Puck is gone, however, Oberon observes Demetrius reject Helena in the woods. Feeling sorry for the girl, Oberon sends Puck to enchant Demetrius with some of the flower's juice. To Puck, one Athenian man looks like another, and soon, Lysander is the one desperately in love with Helena, leaving Hermia confused and more than a little angry.
Meanwhile, a group of common workmen turned actors has met in the woods to rehearse a play which they hope to perform at Theseus' wedding celebration. Puck overhears them and immediately selects Nick Bottom as the perfect match for the now enchanted Titania. When Titania wakes and begins to dote on the transformed Bottom, all hope for true love appears lost—until Oberon reenters the scene, ready to set things back to where they ought to be.

Isuzu Axiom Replacement Catalytic Converter Information
Your Isuzu Axiom's catalytic converter is the part of its emissions system that neutralizes noxious internal combustion byproducts before these gases are discharged back into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter works through the reductive potential of the metals it contains, which are either platinum, palladium or rhodium. These metals facilitate the transformation of toxic carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into less toxic substances like carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water. Since 1975, catalytic converters have been required on all cars sold within the United States as part of the Federal government's clean air initiatives. If your catalytic converter isn't functioning properly, your car will not be able to pass the emission test necessary for vehicle registration in most states. Your car will also put out thicker volumes of exhaust. You can buy a replacement catalytic converter for your Isuzu Axiom at PartsGeek.com.
They are available for the following Isuzu Axiom years: 2004, 2003, 2002, 04, 03, 02. This part is also sometimes called Isuzu Axiom Exhaust Converters. We stock catalytic converter parts for most Isuzu models including Rodeo, Trooper, Hombre, Amigo, Pickup, Rodeo Sport, Ascender, Oasis, i280, Stylus, VehiCROSS, Impulse, i Mark and i350.
We stock these Catalytic Converter brands for the Isuzu Axiom: Eastern Catalytic, DEC, Walker and Magnaflow.

Excellent value, and quick shipping. Ordered items on Wednesday morning and got them next day. Best part was that shipping is one standard rate. I would order from them again.

We make everything work better.... together.
- It's a Lifestyle
You're hosting one of your famous dinner parties, and everyone is gathered in the kitchen enjoying the ambiance you set with the touch of a button just before the first guest arrived. The lights are bright, the music is cranking and everyone is having a great time. But now it's time to serve dinner. Another button push and the lights slowly dim in the kitchen and rise in the dining room while the music shifts to a soft mellow jazz. After dinner, you touch another button and the patio lights come up, music starts to play outside, the hot tub heats to optimum temperature, the gas fire pit kicks on and you and your guests adjourn to the backyard for dessert and entertainment. Now that's lifestyle enhancement, and it can be yours!

GE Aviation has acquired Washington-based Naverus, a 60-employee company that develops required navigation performance (RNP) and other performance-based navigation services for airlines and others.
Founded in 2003 by an entrepreneur and two Alaska Airlines pilots, Naverus to date has deployed hundreds of RNP procedures worldwide, including to terrain challenged airports in Tibet and New Zealand. Alaska Airlines was the first carrier to use Naverus-developed RNP procedures in southeast Alaska in 1996.
The two companies in the past have collaborated to develop performance-based navigation (PBN) procedures, which can help airlines reduce flight time, carbon emissions and community noise on both approach and departure, using GE's flight management systems.
Officials say Naverus' RNP technology is "fundamental" to the transition from existing ground-based, voice-controlled air traffic management to time- and space-based digital systems.
"GE is committed to delivering solutions that help our customers operate aircraft more efficiently, with reduced environmental impact," says Lorraine Bolsinger, president and CEO of GE Aviation Systems. "The acquisition of Naverus brings some of the best PBN technology to GE Aviation's Systems business, further expanding our commitment to deliver environmental results for our customers."

As August begins to move closer towards September, the plucky Oakland A's simply continue to be the Steve Urkel of Major League Baseball: Uninvited, often clumsy and awkward looking, but damn entertaining. At 60-51, they are entrenched in a three-way tie with the Detroit Tigers (not a surprise) and another surprise team, the Baltimore Orioles, for the Wild Card. No more than one and a half games out lurk the Los Angeles Angels and the team that replaced Oakland as baseball's "Little Engine That Could," the Tampa Bay Rays.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near. | 1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. |
2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin. | 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. |
3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year. | 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, |
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. | 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. |
5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me; | 5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; |
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure. | 6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. |

2013 and earlier BMW X5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
bb97 Posts: 5Hi cablue,
I currently have the offer for a pre-ordered 2010 for 52k - 4500 BMW diesel credit - 2500 dealer discount. That comes down to 45k (base model) which is not quite as good as 1000 over invoice. Do you think I could squeeze the lemon a little more? I am in the Bayarea where BMW sells pretty much everything from what I hear.
If anybody has an opinion if that is a good offer please let me know. I want to make a decision soon.
Thanks everybody!! -
sbonder Posts: 7I am getting ready to order the 35d. I am in Georgia. Here are the details, let me know your thoughts please.
2010 x5 35d. Packages: tech, premium, premium sound, heated front seats, ipod/smartphone integration with the iphone cradle, third row, tow package. Also, brown leather seats, and performance pickup.
They say the sticker is $65,015. My price before tax is 57k. They say this includes the 4500 discussed elsewhere on this forum.
Your help greatly appreciated. -

sjp09 Posts: 11Hi sbonder-
I have been getting ready to order a x5 35d as well. I have realized that the best pricing seems to be about $1500-2000 below MSRP if you build the vehicle on bmwusa's site. Additionally, you should get another $4500 off for the "eco-rebate" if you order before 8/31. Does your offer include Resist-All, Tint, and Full mask? The dealer is quoting me $1843.00 for all of those. I am not sure it is worth it. -

nycbmw Posts: 6i spoke with a salesperson a few weeks ago who said they thought the factory was shut down for august for x5's. so does this mean you can only special order 2010's from this point i.e. 2009's have to come from inventory?
I just got this quote for an 09:
MSRP $55,275, Invoice $51,370 Price $47,370
Color Exterior: Deep Green Metallic
Interior: Beige
Options ·3-STAGE HEATED FRONT SEATS (494)
was curious if i order now it has to be a 2010 if cant be found in inventory. thanks -
cablue Posts: 48That's correct. You cannot order '09s. It would be a '10. I assume you're aware of the $4,500 eco credit. So it looks like you're getting an offer of $500 over invoice, then the eco credit. If your '10 is ordered by the end of this month, you can still get the eco credit. Some are paying $1,000 over invoice, then the credit, for the '10s. Price difference is about the same unless one goes for the sport package. That has been divided up in the '10s and now seems to cost a lot more if you're trying to get all that the '09 spt. pkg. had. Also, the '10s have the new updated iDrive and nav., standard HD radio, cheaper sat. radio, roof rails now a $100 option, etc...
sjp09 Posts: 11Hi cablue- Do you think this is a decent offer for $48,500?
Titanium Silver Metallic
Beige Leatherette
Light Poplar wood trim
Rear Climate Package
Heated front seats
Running boards
iPod and USB adapter
Additionally, do you know anything about the Resist-all, tint and Full mask? Is it worth doing in addition to the cost of the vehicle- my dealer is offering this for $1843.00 -
cablue Posts: 48If you're talking about the diesel, and the MSRP, according to what info you gave me, would be $54,125, no, I don't believe that's a good deal. According to this website, the invoice would be 49,845. So, you're only getting $1,300 below invoice. You should be getting $4,000 below invoice (allowing $500 over invoice for dealer) because of the $4,500 eco credit. Again, this is for an '09 diesel. Personally, I wouldn't bother with all the extra stuff; resist-all, tint and full mask. But, I really don't know much about them. I'd pass on those.
bb97 Posts: 5I have an offer now for 1250 over invoice for a factory ordered 2010 X5. I still haven't seen any pictures of it but I will go for the offer since it sounds reasonable for I will be getting the new iDrive. Got the deal through a car broker who takes part of the 1250 I assume. Trying to get 1k or lower over invoice is just too much hassle here in the Bayarea.
sbonder Posts: 7mine was too. i told him that it does and sent him a few links to people who ordered their vehicles and got the credit. his biz guy called bmw financial and got confirmation. i was actually the reason two different dealers in the Atlanta area even knew about this. sort of crazy, you would think they would know every angle to get customers.
i like my guy at athens bmw. if you think you might pick up in greenvile and do the performance center pickup, you can try him. no need to buy in ny. plus, my guy already knows about the credit. -
sjp09 Posts: 11Could you or someone give me a dealership name that will honor the 2010 EcoCredit for $4500? I just signed off on an order with deposit here in Denver for a x5 35D 2 days ago that included the $4500 discount. Now the dealer is telling me it is not guaranteed and may not apply. This is quite rediculous if it is some marketing scam/ploy. I am looking for another dealer that will stand by their price and am willing to pay a shipping chanrge to Denver.
Thanks for any input/help. -

worse....2010 volvo xc90--36/12 with $2K down, $684/month!!! stupid residuals on thsoe two near 43%, bmw---57%!!! the best deals are now on BMW's i have found....
who would pay $600/month for a $40K car? :mad: -
00boxsters Posts: 202Here is my deal I just signed off on for the $4500 eco credit. I'd guess it will be extended beyond August but did not want to take a chance. Dealer could not show MSRP due to 'a computer thing' but said to multiple invoice by 7% and "its very close" or Edmunds MSRP 63,475.00. Edmunds invoice 58,350.00.
Let me know what you think of this deal:
2010 X5d-47,010 estimated
Premium Package-2910 est
Tech Package-2365 est
Comfort Access-910 est
Perferated Nevada Leather- inc. in package
Active Ventilated seat package-1910 est
Heated Front Seats-450 est
Ipod/USB adapter-365 est
HD radio/panoramic moonroof/xenon headlights/new version Idrive included in this 2010. Standard 18" wheels changed for 2010 and front end changed too.
Fuel/Mats/Detail/Programing Costs-444
Dealer Profit (1%)-582
Eco Credit- (-4500)
54,270 plus 599 dealer fee plus tax
Looks like the dealer got about $1000 over invoice (less the 4500 ECO). I got a few bucks more for my trade 335i that made me swallow a bit more than I wanted . -

00boxsters Posts: 202The diesel sound is not noticable unless your are listening for it. Inside there is little engine noise but a deeper than usual exhaust sound. It would not be bothersome on a long trip as someone somewhere opined. If you are outside the car in front while it is running and listen for it, you might here what sounds like a slight valve clickety clack.
Thanks sjp09 on the pretty good deal response. I read on another website (one of several I have been perusing) that the 2010 style will be changed but 18" is standard. My order sheet said style 204 I think which is unchanged however. Sorry I don't have links, as much is a blur from all of the googling I have done over the past week. bimmerfest, bmwblog, x5outpost, xbimmers etc...
I am certain I read about new style wheels and front bumper. Something about the X5d getting some of the changes that come with a sport package as standard. I am not sure if the sport packages changes the front end in any case but I recall reading that as well.
I just read today that the 2010 X5's get the new Idrive controler, software, hard drive and USB something or other but NOT the high resolution 10" screen as on the 7 series...

My daughter and I stayed at the Village Inn for three nights in August. Karen is a wonderful host, and It was a delight to meet her and her family. Karen's hospitality knows no bounds! She chatted with us each morning at breakfast (very delicious), and offered many suggestions (what beach to visit, where to eat and play mini golf, and whale watching out of Barnstable), all of which we took her up on to our great delight. The house has a great New England atmosphere, and our room (with two beds) was very comfortable. Thank you Karen, we will be back!

We stayed four days and enjoyed it immensely. The rooms are big and tastefully furnished. The whole house which is about 200 years old has a warm and almost museum-like atmosphere . The owners are extremely friendly and Karen provided us with lots of suggestions on what to do and see. When we came back in the evening she was always interested in what we did and this made us really feel comfortable. Besides, breakfast was really good and you could chose from different options depending on your appetite. All in all, we can really recommend Village Inn if you are looking for a bed and breakfast place where everything is just perfect.

If you have to work on your 'vacation', you should at least wake up to the smell of bacon and stay with wonderful people! Karen and her family made my week so relaxing — despite my long and late work hours. I felt at home the minute I arrived at their beautiful, impeccably clean Inn. Karen had great suggestions on things to do nearby to make the most of my few hours off, and if you're on the hunt for the best Lobster Roll on the Cape, she'll tell you exactly where to find it... I look forward to staying there again, next time on a 'real' vacation!

Our stay at the Village Inn was a wonderful experience. Karen and her family are very thoughtful and hospitable. Karen's suggestions were very helpful and upon returning from our daily program Karen was always keen to learn about our whereabouts and how her suggestions had worked out. We also had many other interesting conversations, which made us feel really at home. The rooms have an inviting atmosphere. Frans& Anne-Mieke

Our stay at the Village Inn Friday August 1, 2014 was delightful. This was our 3rd (or 4th?) stay here over the past few years and as usual our room was comfy, the breakfast delicious and -- most of all -- the pleasant interaction with Karen, her family and the other guests made our one-night stay exceptional. Yarmouthport village is classic old-time Cape Cod, walkable from the Inn and picturesque, and our dinner at the Old Yarmouth Inn just down the street was tasty amid a charming setting. There are a bunch of B&B's in Yarmouthport but for a genuine Cape Cod experience with a perfect host, the Village Inn is the one to book.

I have been to coming to the Village Inn off and on for most of my 50 years. It has been a family tradition, and it has consistently held the same wonderful charm and hospitality through the years. The staff is warm and welcoming, the food is terrific and very accommodating to my limited palate. The rooms are comfortable, and the house filled with everything you could want from a Cape Cod B 'n B. The Mid-Cape location is perfect for excursions to either Providence or Boston. One of the Cape's best-kept secrets.

After over 20 years of visiting the Cape on a budget, my husband and I have stayed at a variety of B and B's and motels from Sandwich to Dennis. For some reason, we overlooked this lovely old home, but this year, we found it! After experiencing the friendliness and hospitality of the owners, along with the charm of the accommodations, and the wonderful breakfasts, we will no longer need to look! Thank you, Karen and Mac, for a delightful stay, and we hope to be back soon.

We highly recommend The Village Inn Cape Cod. This is a wonderful, historic home. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a/c- which we are eternally grateful for having visited during a particularly muggy July weekend. Karen, Mac and their staff are super nice and helpful with wayward powercords! It was so nice to chat with Karen and Mac about the property's history and Cape Cod. All around a great experience.

Great location, great value, and very friendly service! Karen and Mac do a wonderful job with their traditional inn that has been in their family for many years. Perfect place for an affordable stay in a glorious part of the Cape!

Hello everyone, My name is Lee and i am new to bonsai, i have a chinese elm which i dont think quite has the ideal bonsai look. I have included pictures and would really appreciate any advice on how you would prune this plant to help it grow a more tree like appearance. Or any advice on what you personally would do with this tree. Thank you for taking the time to help me out. |

Elm is a temperate climate plant. Should be outside. |
Hi -- several things to say: 1. be careful about well-meant but incorrect advice. 2. find a local bonsai club and join it. 3. read bonsai books -- I especially recommend authors Paul Lesniewicz, Colin Lewis & Stan Gustafson for beginners; also look for anything with pictures (inspiration). 4. bonsai seems to be a trial & error thing -- learn by doing. Sorry, but some trees die. Don't be discouraged. 5. your tree: I like Chinese elm for a beginner because it grows fast (makes you give it attention) and gives quick satisfaction. It is deciduous & while I don't know weather in England, here in Connecticut, US, it is marginally winter hardy (ie: winter in an unheated garage or basement unless you know). 6. your tree: soil does not look like usual bonsai soil & may be wet. Suggest you repot (with root trim if necessary) using traditional soil -- ask at the club, else find a mail order place -- should be gritty stuff. (Is a bit expensive.) I water daily till it runs out bottom. (My trees live outside all year; only some come inside Dec to March). 7. your tree: nice if common trunk shape but way too little foliage -- let it fill in: Usually, let branches grow to 6 or 8 leaves (more at first) then cut back to 2 -- always use clean, sharp tools. In your case, maybe let them grow longer, to thicken, then trim short to make side branches. 8. your tree long view: classic triangle shape is started -- I suggest trim to that outline. Some straight branches there are candidates for wiring. Good down-bent branch & back branch with clear front to show off trunk. Top has potential, too. 9. enjoy! |

Hello, new to the forum, looking for a mentor of sorts to help me with my bamboo.. several weeks ago it flowered (?) I now have 16" to 18"+ wheat like growth on about half of the tall (above 10') plants and am confused by the research I have done... Will the plants die? Can I harvest seeds?
Also I would like to send someone a few photos and identify the type. Got the root sections off a job I was working on and planted them in March, seems like the growth & sprouts have slowed way down the past few months. Really love the plants and want to enlarge the area... don't know what to do?? Thanks, any input will be welcomed |

Without seeing a picture, I would also support kentuck's guess that it is likely arundo donax. This plant is sometimes mistaken for bamboo, but is unrelated. Denello, bamboo have hard, woody, glossy culms (canes) that typically live for about seven years, and don't dieback unless they are in a really cold area. Bamboo also have branches that come off of the culms and the leaves sprout from these branches. If your plant has leaves that are directly joined to the stalk, that's another sign that you some other plant than bamboo. Finally, if you do have Arundo donax, be aware that it is considered an invasive...more invasive than running bamboo and harder to remove once it's established. |
First, Thanks for the info kudzu9 & Kentuc8b, you are both right it is Arundo donax... second BUMMER! my wife and I were enjoying our little "bamboo" patch,, Our desire is to have something growing along the property line beside our neighbors drive so I guess all is not lost.. the Arundo may do the job, least now we know what we are dealing with. Anyone know of a good source for real Bamboo in the Knoxville, TN area? Thanks again. |
- Posted by kentuck_8b __ (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 12 at 10:16
Some people plant Arundo donax here for visual barriers and it does quite well but it does have a slight odor to it so if it is close to a home or house it may be undsesireable. The county workers plant it along roadsides here for erosion control. It is what we used as kids for fishing poles. Try one of these nurseries below that might be in your area. Kt |

I have made these a couple of times. They are delicious and feel a little healthier and lighter than regular white flour pancakes. I once added blueberries into the batter and they were YUM.
It always amuses me when people say "this is a great recipe! I made these changes:" That said, this is a great recipe! I made these changes: all whole wheat pastry flour, agave syrup instead of sugar, twice as much vanilla, added cinnamon, diced the bananas and included them in the batter. Yum! Will make again ; ).
Really yummy and easy. Used 2 percent milk, 2TB butter, all whole wheat pastry flour, and 2TB ground flax, and 2 teas cinnamon. Super nice and healthy and fluffy.
pretty good recipe. i substituted oat bran flour for the unbleached, all purpose flour which turned out fine. i also added mashed bananas to the milk mixture for a better consistency. and i used 2 tbsp oil instead of the butter. nice recipe suggestion :)
very tasty and fluffy. i halved the recipe and used all whole wheat pastry flour (it's what i had) and it came out great. i added a little cinnamon as well. i also found it easier and better to mix the bananas and nuts into the batter.
